Sour Christmas

Sour Christmas is a fast, festive tour through three of the most fun sour breweries in Europe: Cervisiam in Oslo, Brew York in England, and Vault City in Edinburgh. In just 45 minutes you will taste how far modern sour beer can be pushed, from crisp and refreshing to full dessert-in-a-glass. We start with Cervisiam Missile Toe Cranberry & Cherry Berliner Weisse, a bright red sour packed with tart cranberry and juicy cherry. Cervisiam are Norway’s mischief makers, known for loud flavours and playful labels. Missile Toe drinks like a grown up Christmas punch, sharp enough to refresh, smooth enough to keep you reaching for another sip. Next is Brew York Dreams of Brew York Berry Pavlova X-mas Sour. Brew York specialise in big, flavour driven beers and this one tastes like a Christmas pavlova in liquid form. Layers of mixed berries, vanilla and soft sweetness sit on top of a gentle sour base, giving you that sweet tart balance that keeps the glass disappearing. We finish with Vault City Winter Berry Crumble Fruited Pastry Sour. Vault City focus almost entirely on sour and pastry beers, and they are masters of the style. Expect deep berry flavours, hints of cinnamon and biscuity crumble notes, all wrapped in a thick, luxurious body. If you already love sour beer, this line up is pure Christmas indulgence. If you are still unsure about sours, these three are your chance to discover how rich, fruity and irresistible they can be.
